00:00 >> Yeah, who do you want him to look at?
00:02 Are you filming this part or do you want him to go?
00:03 >> No, no, you can go.
00:05 >> Okay, go ahead, Nick.
00:06 You go Darius and then Darius can come to the back.
00:09 >> I'm good right here?
00:09 >> Yeah, yeah, you do.
00:10 Yeah, Nick, go ahead.
00:12 >> Yeah, so Darius, can you just talk to us about the clothing drive you got going on
00:15 this weekend?
00:16 >> Yeah, so I wanted to do a clothing drive just to give back to the community,
00:20 mainly because the seasons are changing, people always need clothes.
00:24 And the center that I attended, the Bethlehem Center,
00:26 which is on the historic south side of Fort Worth, was a place that I went to when I
00:30 was a kid.
00:30 And so I know that they give clothes to moms, they give clothes to dads,
00:34 they give clothes to kids.
00:35 And so I thought it'd be a perfect opportunity for
00:37 TCU to give back to the community and do a clothing drive.
00:40 >> Yeah, how cool is it to be in this position where you can give back to
00:43 your hometown?
00:45 >> Honestly, I really didn't think I would be in this position, in all honesty.
00:49 I knew I always wanted to give back, but now it's my senior year, so
00:52 I'm really trying to push initiatives to give back to my community.
00:55 So I really, really appreciate it, it's really, really humbling.
00:59 And I think that even when I leave college, I still wanna give back to even
01:03 the TC community and the surrounding Fort Worth community.
01:05 >> Yeah, and you talked about being a senior here, and
01:07 you've been here through some of the best years of TCU basketball.
01:09 How does it feel being the vibes guy on the team?
01:13 And how's it been just bringing success to this program?
01:16 >> It's been fun, it's been a journey.
01:18 I am really amazed at the places basketball can take you.
01:22 And so I've been to all these different cool places, and
01:24 I'm just a Fort Worth kid growing up in a pretty small, big town.
01:28 And so it's been fun going to the March Madness and NCAA tournament,
01:33 winning, people storming the court, just being a Frog fan and
01:39 just loving Frog Nation, so it's been definitely a big experience for me.
01:42 >> Yeah, what's been your favorite moment here, you said?
01:44 >> That's a tough one.
01:46 I think going to Paris and going to London was a pretty fun moment for
01:50 me, because I never expected myself to go see another part of the world.
01:54 And just getting a passport and just having the opportunity to just go play
01:58 overseas, be with my teammates, look at the world, see how people live.
02:03 I think for me, it was definitely,
02:04 definitely one of the best experiences I've ever had in my life.
02:06 >> That's awesome, we appreciate it.
02:08 >> Yeah, no problem.
